Daniel Larson's homeless arc began in March 2022, after Daniel ran away from his caretaker Jonas and housemate Gavin. While the first "Homeless Arc" has ended, as of December 2023, Daniel is still without a permanent housing situation.
Arc trigger
Before the arc began, Daniel was living with a host named Jonas (Jonez/Jonaz) and a housemate named Gavin. The household was in a constant state of chaos,[1] so much so that at one point Daniel was "poisoned" with mustard or jalapeños in his macaroni and cheese. Daniel fled from the house, as he couldn't take the chaos that ensued within Jonas' household. The departure may have also been influenced by trolls or managers. This "manager" informed him that Grace VanderWaal was in Colorado Springs, and that Daniel had 24 hours to get there (from Denver) if he wanted to be with her.
Survival
To the surprise of some, Daniel has been able to survive being homeless. He did so through various (and sometimes illegal) means, such as dine and dashing or relying on fans to pay for his meals. Since he is almost constantly on his phone (such as when he ran an entire marathon, phone in hand), Daniel will usually charge his phone at restaurants or other public areas. On occasion, Daniel will resort to trespassing if he cannot find a receptacle in a public place.
Wear and tear
Being without a home does not provide ample opportunity for bathing. When Daniel is given the opportunity to clean himself he often refuses it. Daniel has been in a visibly dirty state for months on end.
"Conclusion" of the homeless arc
The Homeless Arc came to a close when Daniel was approached by Briiink, which was the name of a TikTok account run by two teenage boys who were fans of him. Briiink took Daniel out for meals, bathing, and a haircut, which made him look presentable in public again. Daniel was then introduced to Twitch, a popular streaming service, by Ox, a discord user. Through Twitch he was able to receive donations which he used to get hotels or Airbnbs.
Return of the homeless arc
While Daniel has stopped streaming on Twitch, his housing situation is far from stable. Daniel broke his phone at one point, which made it difficult to make contact with people.
Broken phone
On July 26, 2022, Daniel broke his phone by throwing it during heated argument with his 'mentor.' Daniel never said who this mentor was, but usually when Daniel references his mentor, it is Bob (or a Bob impersonator). Daniel could have also been speaking about Brink. While Daniel was explaining the situation, he accidentally dropped his new $300 tablet that he was 'forced' to buy, breaking it.
DDRC visit
On July 27, 2022, Daniel visited the Developmental Disabilities Resource Center (DDRC) in an attempt to obtain housing and explain his court situation.
Brief intermission
On August 31, 2022, Daniel was placed into a home. Within a couple of days after moving in, he had already caused damage to the house.
Continuation
Daniel was kicked out of his housing on October 16, 2022, and received a $1,000 citation due to the property damage. "Miss P" told police that she was in fear for her life because of Daniel, "...and his popularity."
Transported oo Colorado Springs
On October 19, Daniel spent some time with his 'new friends' at Dave & Buster's. The next day, on October 20, after spending the night in a hotel, they brought Daniel up to Colorado Springs. Here is is alleged that they realized Daniel was too much trouble and abandoned him at a Walgreens. Daniel felt forced to walk back to Denver; he made it to Monument, Colorado before being picked up by fans. That night, Daniel refused to go to a homeless shelter because he thought he was too famous.
Preparing for the Cold
Daniel spends most of his time in Denver, Colorado, which has average lows of 23 degrees Fahrenheit during the winter.[2] Daniel has never been homeless during the winter, causing some to question his ability to survive in these conditions. Daniel has already been forced to spend a night in an elevator with other homeless men.
Homeless Elevator
On October 25, 2022, Daniel uploaded a video in which he is sharing an elevator with three other presumably homeless men. Lighters are visible in the video, indicating that there may have been drug use, although this is merely speculation.
An unknown fan tracked down the location to 39°45'23.5"N 105°00'06.9"W, matching the metal grating seen in the video with the stairs going up to the pedestrian bridge located there.
